Christmas 2008

Finally, I am making my way back to blogging!  In an attempt to catch up, here are a few of my favorites from Christmas!

Merry Main Street

They had this fun little festival in Frisco last Saturday night called Merry Main Street! They had free crafts for the kids, face painting, food, a very neat Santa in a sleigh (with a line that was a mile long), and necklace making for the kids! We had a lot of fun!

Here is Ashton as Mrs. Clause

Reese trying to get a taste of that candy cane!

And my 2 cuties in front of the tree!

Breakfast with Santa

We went to Breakfast with Santa at Reese's school last Saturday! We all enjoyed pancakes, some fun crafts & a visit with Santa Clause! We had a lot of fun, and Reese wasn't even scared of Santa....thank goodness after Johnny waited in line for about an hour!

Thank You...

I'm thankful for...
Laundry - because it means that my family has clothes to wear.
Dishes - because it means that my family has food to eat.
Bills - because it means that we have financial provisions.
Making Beds - because it means we have a warm, soft place to rest at night.
Dusting - because it means we have furniture to enjoy.
Vacuuming - because it means we have a home to care for.
Picking Up Toys - because it means I have children to bring joy to my life.

Today, I am taking time to realize just how much I have to be thankful for...My girls, my sweet husband, my friends and family, our home, and our freedom. I am one lucky Mama for all that I have to be thankful for!

Undercover Turkey

Ashton's homework assignment was to disguise the Tom Turkey as a different animal or character in hopes that it didn't get caught for Thanksgiving dinner!

In an attempt to do that, here is our Princess!
